How to Level Up Blacksmithing in Classic WoW?
To level up your Blacksmithing skill, you will need to craft various items using the materials you have gathered or bought. You will also need to learn new recipes from your trainer or from other sources, such as vendors, quests, drops, or reputation rewards.
You will need to pay attention to the color of the recipes, as they indicate how likely you are to gain a skill point from crafting them. The colors are as follows:
- Orange: 100% chance to gain a skill point.
- Yellow: 75% chance to gain a skill point.
- Green: 25% chance to gain a skill point.
- Gray: 0% chance to gain a skill point.
You should always try to craft orange or yellow recipes, as they will give you the most skill points per craft. You can also craft green recipes if you have excess materials or if you want to sell the items for profit.
You should avoid crafting gray recipes, as they will not give you any skill points and will only waste your materials.
